I'll try to hit on the topic before then. On a related note, given how easily self-interest reshapes ideologies, I predict that both liberalism and conservatism will suddenly "discover" that caring for and honoring the elderly is the chief duty of civilization, right around the time we realize that all government revenue has to be poured into Social Security and Medicare.

Not that I necessarily disagree, mind you, but might you develop this line of thought at some point? This (and related demographic notions) have been on my mind a bit, and I'd welcome more thought on the topic... “…one more reason we’ll [Generation X] fade largely unnoticed (and demographically minute) into history…”
